So, you’re selling your house in San Antonio…

There’s a lot of options for you and that can be overwhelming. It’s a big decision! We know that selling your house can be daunting. We’re going to break down the process of selling your house in San Antonio so that you can decide the best way to go about this for you and your family.

The most common way of selling your house in San Antonio, Texas is to sell it on the market to another family who is going to get third party financing from a bank to buy your house. The basic steps of this are finding a good realtor, researching comparable homes in your area to see what the market value of your home is, making repairs to the house, painting every room a nice natural color, taking down everything that is over-personalizing the house (people like to imagine their stuff in the house, not yours), decluttering, keeping the house clean for showings, showing your house to potential buyers, waiting to see if any of those buyers get approved for financing, and then negotiating the sales price of your house with the buyer. That was a long list! But with the right people on your side and a bit of patience, you can do this. Putting in all of this time and money will allow you to sell your house for top market value. This process usually takes about 3-6 months and then you’ll be on your way.

Another way of selling your house in San Antonio is to sell it to a cash buyer. Most of the time, cash buyers are investors who will take that house and fix it up for another family or owner-finance it to a family who doesn’t have the credit to get approved for a loan. Selling your house to a cash buyer is a quick process that usually takes anywhere from 7 days to 2 weeks; if you’re pressed for time or money, this may be a good option for you! Most of the time, when selling to cash buyer you’ll be able to choose your own closing date.

There are a few benefits to consider about selling your home to an investor. A cash buyer will buy your house “as is” so you don’t need to make any repairs to the house before selling it. A good cash buyer will also pay for all of the standard costs and take care of all of the paperwork with the title company! On top of that, you won’t have to hold any showings so you don’t have to worry about keeping your house clean 24/7 while people come and go to see if they want to buy your house. A cash offer is the generally the most secure offer you can get because it is not contingent upon third party approval.

When selling your home to a cash buyer in San Antonio, you’ll want to ensure that they’re going to do what they say they’re going to do. You may ask for proof of funds to make sure they actually have the cash to purchase your house, ask them what title company they usually work with (a good cash buyer will generally work with the same title company for all of their transactions, and, of course, always go with your gut. You are smart and can usually tell when someone knows what they’re talking about or not. Make sure your cash buyer knows what they’re talking about.
